20 Cognitive Biases That Screw Up Your Decisions

Remember that everyone, including you and me, suffers from these biases. If you find that you’re trying to convince yourself that you’re special, that somehow these biases don’t apply to you, then you’re only intensifying their influence. Here are a few choice biases that are hidden around every corner:

Availability Heuristic: People overestimate the importance of information that is available to them. A person might argue that smoking is not unhealthy because they know someone who lived to 100 and smoked three packs a day.

Bandwagon Effect: The probability of one person adopting a belief increases based on the number of people who hold that belief. This is a powerful form of groupthink.

Choice-supportive Bias: When you choose something, you tend to feel positive about it, even that choice has flaws. Like how you think your dog is awesome–even if it bites people once in a while.

Clustering Illusion: This is the tendency to see patterns in random events. It is key to various gambling fallacies, like the idea that red is more or less likely to turn up on a roulette table after a string of reds.

Confirmation Bias: We tend to listen only to information that confirms our preconceptions–one of the many reason it’s so hard to have an intelligent conversation about climate change.

Selective Perception: Allowing our expectations to influence how we perceive the world. An experiment involving a football game between students from two universities shows that one team saw the opposing team commit more infractions.

Stereotyping: Expecting a group or person to have certain qualities without having real information about the person. It allows us to quickly identify strangers as friends or enemies, but people tend to overuse and abuse it.

“You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.”

I’m...

DOMINANT FUNCTION:

Fe: Empathetic and warm-hearted. Other people are one of the most important things to me and I find it hard not to care about them or to want to keep them happy. I’m a lover of people

Fi: Emotional and opinionated. I have strong feelings about who/what I value and what is truly right, so I let my personal values influence myself more than anything else. I’m an idealist

Te: Driven and responsible. If I want to get something done, I’ll quickly find the most efficient way to do it. I’m a go-getter

Ti: Rational and independent. I love making logical sense of what I don’t know and figuring out how things work to solve problems or just for the hell of it. I’m an analytical thinker

Ne: Very stimulated by ideas and concepts. My mind is always energised by interesting thoughts and connections between them. I’m a visionary

Ni: Detached from the moment by itself and perceptive of the bigger picture. My 5 senses only take me so far, I’m mostly concerned with intangible possibilities and hidden meanings behind things. I’m a contemplator

Se: Spontaneous and highly in tune with my surroundings and happenings in them, which I’m almost always confident in experiencing and interacting with. I’m a realist

Si: Quite in touch with information I’ve gained in the past. My memory is very strong and I’m constantly comparing what I experience in the present to things I’ve experienced in the past. I’m a traditionalist

how do you tell an unhealthy isfp from an unhealthy infp? thanks 🙏

UNHEALTHY ISFPs fight against the influence others may have on them, trying to hold on to their independence and individuality. Steve Rogers/Captain America is a prime example of this in Civil War. They become stubborn and defensive of their way of life, not adjusting to the external world as it really is. Harry Potter and Zuko also exhibit this behavior. They both try their hardest to disregard the input of others in an act to preserve their initial Fi judgments. They both have to accumulate more Se experience in order to have a more objective view of themselves and their judgments. For Zuko it takes being exiled, being with his Uncle who pushes him constantly, and making even more mistakes in book 3 to come to a healthier place where he accepts the influence of others on himself.

UNHEALTHY INFPs fight against opposing ideals they find problematic. They challenge others and their ideas hoping to point out the flaws and prove the person they disagree with to be wrong. They can seem more extraverted when they are unhealthy in this way. In their own way by attacking the ideals of others they are trying to defend their own inner ideals from outside influence. Denying their proper Ne to see other viewpoints and the objective world. Their inferior Te is wielded so they believe they are being rationale in their defensive strategy. Amon from Avatar: Legend of Korra is a great example of this. For a non-villain that does this it is important to look at April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation. This behavior is often why she is mistyped as ISTP/INTP. They see her as more impersonal playing devil’s advocate, but when she is trolling people in her passive-aggressive way she is really on the defense trying to preserve her Fi and point out that everyone else is inauthentic.

The Gist:

ISFPs ignore others to preserve their sense of integrity/authenticity. INFPs fight others, almost like devil’s advocate but trying to prove some moral point. Both are stubborn.
